Raman Study on Pompeii Potteries: The Role of Calcium Hydroxide on the Surface Treatment by Daniele Chiriu, Pier Carlo Ricci, Andrea Polcaro, Paolo Braconi, David Lanzi, Davide Nadali

“…The comparative studies on the carbonation effect of the surfaces were performed on laboratory grown samples of calcium hydroxide. The samples were treated at high temperature and exposed to different ambient conditions, and the analysis suggests that the original surfaces of Roman pottery were scattered by calcium hydroxide (limewash) before the cooking process in the furnace. …”

Features of Wood Impregnation with Water-Soluble Protective Agents by Aleksandr A. Lychakov, Konstantin N. Kulikov, Vadim N. Evgenov, Sergey V. Lodochnikov

“…Taking into account the data on the conditional compressive strength across fibers for pine and spruce, as well as the characteristics of impregnation stands upgraded at enterprises, it is of practical interest to study the impregnation process under hydraulic pressure of 1...5 MPa. For this purpose, an experimental setup has been developed and samples of spruce have been made, having equal dimensions, weight and moisture content, but differing in the type of wood (heartwood, sapwood and mixed), as well as in the arrangement of annual rings (radial or tangential). …”
